Some Green Kill Equipment available to you:
Green Kill has a Roland FP 90 X piano.
The Roland FP-90 was primarily designed for someone looking for a stellar piano experience in an all-in-one digital-piano package. The modeled pianos punch way above this instrument’s price class — their realism is absolute, and you’ll never hear any “note stealing” — new notes cutting off previously sustained ones — due to limited polyphony, even with the most dense, two-handed, damper-down playing you can muster. Plus, where purely sampled pianos often boast recordings of this or that famous marque, the ability to adjust the model via Piano Designer means that the FP-90 can sound like any piano in your mind’s ear.
Green Kill has a Perl Export Drum Set.
Upgraded shells, hardware, and more make this Pearl Export EXX 5-piece drum set an upgraded version of one of the most popular and affordable drum kits around. Inspired by Pearl's Reference Series, this Export EXX kit's Superior Shell Technology (SST) uses a combination of strategically arranged plies of premium wood and proprietary construction techniques to offer you a durable shell that maximizes frequency response. The Opti-Loc mounting system keeps your toms wobble free while reinforcing the resonance of the kit. The included 830-series hardware adds big bang for the buck with the Pearl Export EXX drum kit. All you need to do is add the cymbals!
